You might assume that the main screen of the Alexa app shows you past commands that you’ve shouted out. While this is partially true, the main screen is really only there to show you additional info for specific commands.
For example, if you ask Alexa about the weather, you’ll see a weather card appear in the Alexa app, giving you more details about the forecast. If you set a timer, you’ll see that timer appear in the Alexa app, where you can view the time remaining. However, saying something like “Alexa, turn the lights on” won’t appear on the main screen.
With that said, here’s how to see and hear every single command that you’ve ever told Alexa on any of your Alexa devices.
Start by opening up the Alexa app and tapping on the menu button up in the top-left corner of the screen.
Select “Settings” at the bottom.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom and tap on “History”.
On this screen, you’ll see a list of commands that you’ve given to Alexa, including all those times she misheard you.
Keep in mind that this section of the Alexa app is the only place where you can delete a specific command completely—deleting just the card on the main screen won’t actually delete the command from the history, as it will still show up here.
Under the section “Digital Content and Devices”, click on “Content and Devices”.
Click on the “Your Devices” tab.
Directly to the left of an Echo device in the list, click on the ellipses button.
Click on “Manage Voice Recordings”.
Click on “Delete”.
